I have been troubleshooting a problem with Internet Explorer slowdown and then no response. I can browse for a minute and then crawls and I get the blank page (error.. page/server not found or something like that) I have a Dial-up Earthlink account. I originally had win 2k OS but elected to go with XP Pro after being affected with the Blaster worm. I reformatted the drive and installed XP (Twice) but still have the same problem. I decided to go back to original Win 2k and installed that along with Norton 2004 and the Earthlink disk but still the same problem. I go the cmd mode and ping yahoo.com and it fails. I am still connected at this time. Before going on the internet each time I loaded all the critical MS security patches and install Norton 2004. I used a Earthlink disk from Office Max to load the app. Could that be a problem? Maybe Spyware? Scanning for viruses (Sasser, Blaster ) comes up clean. Since this is a new install each time, I haven't run Adware or Spyware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
